Rams recognised for green credentials

Derby County has been recognised for its commitment to improving its environmental practices and operations.

The club has been awarded EFL Green Club Bronze status and full GreenCode accreditation.

EFL Green Clubs is a League-wide voluntary scheme, delivered in partnership with GreenCode, that supports EFL Clubs to improve their environmental practices and operations.

Derby County has worked hard across the business with staff and partners to identify areas of environmental impact and look at ways to reduce its impact.

Investment has continued to be made at both Pride Park Stadium and Moor Farm Training Ground, with the latter having solar panels installed earlier this year.

Chief operating officer, Simon Carnall, said: “Football has an unequalled power to drive change, and we are committed to playing our part both at Pride Park Stadium and Moor Farm Training Ground, as well as across the local community.

“We have implemented several environmentally sustainable practices across the club in the last year, including a ‘Green Team’ working group, and will continue to do so over the course of the forthcoming campaign.”
